140km Route:

This is a beautiful but gruelling route through Graiguenamanagh, Borris, Kiltealy and Bunclody, culminating in two magnificent climbs of Mt. Leinster.
Incorporating 1,900m of climbing, this one is not for the faint-hearted! Enjoy a breath-taking descent from Mt. Leinster all the way down to Ballinkillen as a hard-earned reward at the end of a
long day in the saddle.

This route follows the 140km route through Graiguenamanagh, Borris, Kiltealy, Bunclody and Mount Leinster but returns to Ballinkillen without the second climb
of Mount Leinster. It is still a tough and gruelling ride.

This route follows the 105km route for the first half as far as Borris. After the food stop in Borris follow the 50km route back to Ballinkillen.

50Km Route:

This is a scenic spin across the River Barrow in Goresbridge and doubling back through Borris and Kiltealy, finishing with a climb of the lower slopes of Mt. Leinster and a beautiful descent
into Ballinkillen.

From Ballinkillen head in Corries direction but just outside Ballinkillen branch off to the right for Ballymartin, via Skahanrane. At Ballymartin turn left for Ballinree cross where you will take
another left for Corries Cross. At Corries there will be a drinks stop and maybe a few jellies ( In the yard beside Sean Dalton's house). Go straight through Corries as far as Ballycormack. Turn
left for Lorum here. At Lorum all cyclists will regroup and when everyone is present you will turn left for Ballinkillen via Eoghan and Ruairí's house. Return to Ballinkillen Community Centre for
well earned refreshments!
